So, I haven’t gotten a chance to talk about Secret Invasion #2 yet (because, let’s face it…. after #1 it was kind of a let down) because with summer coming up, we’ve hit promotion season at ye olde store. So this means heading out to events like the Santa Barbara Social Game Night to talk [...]

Whisper Words of Wisdom: Letter B
January 19, 2008 – 8:57 am
Somedays, the ol’ blog-o-net makes me want to toss my laptop from a very high cliff. Somedays, I’m trying to enjoy my funny books at the store and find myself politely nodding this this week’s blog-o-versy over what terrible thing DC is doing or how Joe Quesada slapped you like Zsa Zsa Gabor on a [...]

Where Do You Read Your Comics?
November 9, 2007 – 12:01 pm
Okay! Victory dance aside, we’re back! And almost as good as new which is why I’m coming to you, Gentle Reader, with really… a good question.
Where do you read comics? On your lunch break? On the bus or other public transport? Do you buy a ‘Reader’s Copy’ especially for the job? [...]
Fan Entitlement
November 9, 2007 – 9:52 am
Much like hating people but loving gatherings (isn’t it ironic?), I get a kick out of Harry Potter fandom. Not the books mind you, as I tried to read the first one and it just wasn’t my bag, but the people who are rabid for the world of wizards and muggles. Without more than my [...]
Rapey Comments Comin’ Atcha!

By the way, I’d like to point out to people who follow Newsarama – in the fight scene with the Skrull, Namor begins it fully clothed, and, by the time it’s over, his shirt is ripped open, and more of his naked body can be seen. I know that this will cause a letter-writing campaign [...]

Okay, it might be all I can say on this and it’s a positive note:
BB: I made that choice very deliberately. Don’t get me wrong - I do like to keep some things off camera or panel if that will serve a particular scene or story. But in this instance, moving this off panel would [...]
The Flipside of Things
October 3, 2007 – 8:43 pm
Okay, strangest thing just happened: I was watching an ad for the Hitman movie coming out this month and suddenly I found myself thinking about the video game was based on. How I might want to look into it, maybe rent it from a Blockbuster, see what it’s like. After all, the movie looks kind [...]
Fandignance - Harry Potter
Okay, so bear with me on this one. I’m actually not into Harry Potter in the slightest (I’m one of those jerks who shouts they read it first when it was called THE BOOKS OF MAGIC!), but their fandom is absolutely amazng. The people who adore these books have produced some of the [...]
